So I'm a sheep.

"Is this treasure now in Clark's hands?"

"No"

Vivian pointed to herself: "This treasure is now in my hands."

"what"

.................................................. ...

"Lady Salier, when the first emperor chose the eldest prince as the successor to the empire, he also entrusted him with the two keys to unlock the Star Treasure."

The emperor instructed his eldest son: "If the third son doesn't harbor any wicked thoughts, the key to unlocking the inheritance will be given to him a hundred years from now."

"If the third brother turns against you, use that key that can only enter the fake treasure vault to deal with him."

"Unfortunately, let alone a hundred years. After the emperor left, the third prince couldn't even wait a year before starting a rebellion."

Vivian said indignantly, "Under these circumstances, it was natural not to pass on the throne of the first emperor to him, so the eldest prince gave his younger brother a fake key."

"..."

'So it seems the first emperor valued his third son the most.'

What is the Arcane Empire?

If one were to inherit the emperor's legacy and become the second person to surpass the world, then with a little time, one could easily create ten or eight more similar empires.

Unfortunately, the third prince did not pass the emperor's final test.

'Could it be that Clark took something from the fake vault and then used the key to deceive Olina?'

Although she felt that the succubus was not easy to fool, the girl couldn't think of any other possibility for the time being.

Vivian

"Ok?"

"Since the key to the first emperor's legacy has always been in your family's hands, why don't you find an opportunity to use it?"

"Of course I've had that thought, but..."

Vivian said awkwardly, "Only those with excellent bloodlines who inherit the legacy of their ancestors have the possibility of surpassing this world."

"In other words, even if a less outstanding bloodline inherits the legacy of its ancestors, it will not be able to become invincible in the world."

"The opening of the treasure will cause a great commotion. Once we choose to inherit the true treasure of our ancestors, we will inevitably go to war with the current Arcane Emperor."

"To my shame, from the past to the present, no arcanist in our family has ever had such determination and confidence."

So...

Holding the key that could turn the tide, yet to this day, no one dares to use it due to numerous concerns.

Vivian's face burned, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

“There’s nothing wrong with your family’s cautious approach.”

After offering a few words of comfort, the young girl felt a little uneasy.

'Vivian's key must never fall into Orina's hands! She almost killed me with a single curse; she's definitely one of the best mid-level demons.'

'If she really did obtain the inheritance of the first emperor, the succubus might break through to a higher level.'

Once the breakthrough is achieved, the mid-level demon will become a high-level demon, and that will be...

'Oh no, oh no, thinking about it, haven't I always been plagued by bad luck?'

From the first trial world until now, has there ever been a smooth one?

'What you fear most is what happens; in the end, Orina truly received the inheritance!'

...................................................

The little girl grew increasingly frightened as she thought about it, and she couldn't help but ask Vivian for confirmation: "Vivian, the legacy of the first emperor can only be inherited by his descendants, right?"

That should be the case.

Should, ought to?

"..."

"Um, I have a suggestion."

"Although this is quite sudden, could Vivian please let me keep the key for now?"

"OK"

"No !!!!"

Vivian nodded immediately, but Garfield was furious, his beard bristling and eyes wide with anger.

"Your Excellency Saliye, you are a dignified Archangel, how dare you covet Vivian's treasures!"

"No, I didn't!"

The little girl quickly waved her hand: "This key is very dangerous. Once it falls into Olina's hands, the world will be completely doomed."

Actually, whether this world ends or not is secondary.

Most importantly, once the succubus breaks through, she will have the potential to kill him.

'Being killed by her outright would be too lenient; if that guy caught me and took me to hell, I'd truly be worse off than dead.'

“I have a completely safe place where even a high-ranking demon wouldn’t be able to find the key.”

"The legacy of the first emperor is precious, but if I work hard to accumulate merits for two or three hundred years, I can exchange it for a better legacy."

"I'm still young. Two or three hundred years is nothing to me. I wouldn't deceive my allies for a single key!"

Volume 1: Chapter 280 Go with peace of mind

"We have kept the key to the Starry Sky Treasure for so many years and nothing has ever happened to it."

"Your Excellency Saliye, your worries are unnecessary."

"Sigh, to be honest, I've been having a lot of bad luck lately, and I'm really afraid something unexpected might happen."

"Since you're having such bad luck, the key is definitely not for you to keep."

“Speaker Garfield, I could have easily let you off the hook and privately asked Vivian to hand over the keys to me.”

"The reason I'm saying this now is because I don't want our alliance to turn sour in the future."

Seeing the little girl looking at him so earnestly, Garfield's heart stirred.

Sally was right; she could have easily gotten away with this.

Now that Vivian is completely infatuated with her, what is there that she can't borrow privately?

'Saying it out while I'm around really shows a sense of openness and honesty.'

Actually, Sasha's request was quite unreasonable.

But after she said a few words, Garfield became the one in a difficult position.

The angel was so sincere, acted so openly and honestly, and had such compelling reasons...

Is it really a bad idea to refuse directly and bluntly?

With the Speaker's hesitation, the matter was settled once Vivian spoke.

"I trust you, Lady Saliye. I feel more at ease with the key in your possession than with it myself."

Vivian said in an emphatical tone, "As the holder of the key to the Starry Sky Treasure, from this moment on, I entrust it to you for safekeeping!"

"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. Now we are truly invincible."

'Hmph, I've already nipped the only possibility of a crushing defeat in the bud.'

'Now...'

'Uh, I have a feeling that if I continue like this, I'll be planting a flag for myself.'

'Angels shouldn't be too arrogant; proceed with caution.'

................................................

"Your Majesty, why do you look so worried these past few days?"

Clark glanced at the smiling devil but said nothing.

"Is it the trouble of the Church and the Arcane Council joining forces, or the worry about the rumors that have suddenly appeared from the outside world, or the anxiety caused by the fact that the conversion pool has not been successfully built for so long?"

"..."

"Not going to say anything?"

"So that means you have both."

Orina walked gracefully to the emperor's side and drew circles on his chest with her finger.

"Honey, tell me if you encounter any difficulties."

"With just one word, I'll go and kill that ungrateful old bastard Garfield right now."

“That cowardly guy hasn’t dared to go home lately, he’s been staying at the church,” Clark said curtly.

"Living in the church is fine too. Sally is still a relatively new angel, I can easily..."

"That angel is now just as strong as me."

Clark interrupted the succubus: "You're asking for death if you try to infiltrate the church and fight two against one."

"Not inferior to you?"

Orina's smile vanished: "After advancing to the level of a chief angel, it's not so easy to improve one's strength."

"How could she have made such rapid progress in such a short time that she's now on par with you?"

"That's the truth."

Clark said with a stern face, "When I went to see her last time, I had a feeling that she could see right through me."

“Saliye is not what she used to be, and there’s nothing I can do if you don’t believe me.”

"..."
